She Drives Me Crazy

Thoroughly enjoyable. Hilarious from beginning to end. First time I've read this authors books. I plan on reading more of them.

Pecan pie, golden butterflies, and wild Walker men combined make for one heck of a sexy read. When Emma Jean Frasier returns to Joyful, Georgia, the entire universe begins to tilt on its axis for the citizens of the nosy little town. The dialogue in this book is so perfectly in sync with the way I envisioned each character, that I was sad to finish the book. I just didn't want to walk away from a couple as fun as this one. This book reads the way my girlfriends and I talk. It's brash and modern. Emma Jean is a woman we'd all like to have on our speed dial, and of course any woman would be lucky to have a carbon copy of Johnny Walker about. Nick's story hits shelves in September '05, and you can BET I'll be rushing to get my copy.

Emma Frasier returns home to Joyful, Georgia when her life falls apart. Her best friend embezzled her life savings along with a sizeable amount of the assets belonging to the company they had both worked for. Now that she's jobless she has returned home to house her grandmother left her to try and get her life back on track..With a strip club being built in the town by a former porn star, the local grapevine has been working overtime trying to figure out who the porn star is....and when Emma arrives home they quickly decide that it must be her. Emma doesn't understand why people keep looking at her strange or giving her smirking looks and the whole thing leaves her feeling uncomfortable. Then there is Johnny Walker, the former local bad boy who is now District Attorney. Emma had dated Johnny's brother Nick in high school only to find herself dumped on prom night when Nick disappeared to marry the sheriff's daughter who was pregnant with his child. When Johnny showed up in Nick's place to take Emma to the prom neither of them expected the night to end with them being caught naked together. Johnny has always felt like Emma used him in place of his brother but now that they are together again things quickly heat back up. Between dealing with her feelings for Johnny and a town who thinks she was a porn star Emma's got a lot to handle. Leslie Kelly has delivered a feel good romance that has laugh out loud humor, sexy love scenes and touch of suspense. The tension between Emma and Johnny is obvious from the beginning and the secondary story of Claire and Tim is a delightful bonus. Add to this the tease of an upcoming story for Nick and She Drives Me Crazy is a not to be missed treat. She Drives Me Crazy was my first experience with Leslie Kelly but I was so throughly satisfied by it that I immediately ordered all her other titles and have added Leslie Kelly to my list of auto buy authors!

It doesn't usually take much innuendo to get a rumor started in some places. Joyful, Georgia is no exception in Leslie Kelly's latest book SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY. Emma Jean Frasier finds out the hard way just how fast gossip can spread as folks in her home town mistakenly assume she is not only the owner of the new strip club being built on the outskirts of town, but also a famous porn star bringing wickedness to Joyful. After all, she was last seen ten years ago in a local park's gazebo on prom night in her birthday suit with bad boy, now local prosecutor, Johnny Walker. From the first line in this story, I was hooked. Leslie Kelly creates a sea of funny and often heart warming characters I swear I've met and talked to while traveling through small towns. SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY is as hilarious as I've come to look forward to in Leslie's books and has a nice twist I didn't expect at the end. The scene in chapter one at the local convenience store involving a sprained ankle and laundry detergent had me laughing until I cried. My personal favorite scene however, involves a window unit air-conditioner on an exceptionally hot day. Whew!! Leslie Kelly simply rocks! And so does SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY. You're in for a treat when you read this. SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY is going not only on my must read list, but also has a special place on my book shelf of favorites. I can't wait for Nick's Walker's story!

I am a big fan of small town romances and this book is going right onto my favorites list. Emma Jean Frasier is a great heroine...flat broke and returning to a town she hates. Meanwhile, the town of Joyful is convinced Emma went off and became a big time porn star and is opening a strip club. Johnny Walker is a wonderful hero. Sexy and strong, he really is driven crazy by Emma Jean, the girl he has never been able to forget. His revelation at the end was beautiful and left me smiling long after I finished the book. The other characters in the town add a lot of laughs and quirkiness. I loved how the mayor got what was coming to him. Emma's friend Claire, the grumpy old cleaning lady, the dirty old man who pines for the sex doll his dog popped...just all so funny and entertaining. She Drives Me Crazy is a fun, funny, fast-paced read that is definitely worth checking out.
